2010 tour
John has just completed his 24-venue sell-out concert tour, in which he covered hundreds of miles across the UK, by road, rail and air in just 33 days. The audience reaction has been absolutely amazing everywhere that John, his J4 dancers (James, Jamie, Jenny and Kate), his musical director, Matt Brind, and the eight-piece band performed.
2010 tour DVD
If you missed the concert tour, don't worry. You can enjoy all the emotion, fun, passion and energy of the London concert on the DVD "John Barrowman Live At The Royal Albert Hall". The DVD is available in two formats - PAL (Europe/Australasia) and NTSC (North/South America, Caribbean, Taiwan and Japan). Both formats are region-free (Region 0). The PAL version is due to be released on 15 November and the NTSC version will be released on 22 November.
There's also a very special collector's edition box set, containing both the 2009 An Evening With John Barrowman and the 2010 Live At The Royal Albert Hall DVDs, plus a 12-page booklet with never-before-seen photos of John. This special edition will be available exclusively from ASDA or ASDA Online.

John is now a patron of CRY
John with Antony and Halina
John recently met Halina and Antony Reid, the parents of Tom Reid who was a big fan and who John met at a book signing last year. Tom tragically died of Sudden Arrythmic Death Syndrome (SADS) at the young age of 19. Antony and Halina are raising money for the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY). John's fans helped them to meet their initial target of £10,000 so CRY could continue their work and start screening young people for heart conditions. John has since offered his support as a patron CRY to help raise awareness of conditions that lead to SADS.
